Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is in ‘Cloud Nine’ at the moment, as he recently got married to his fiancé Gauri Spratt in a lavish Mumbai ceremony. The couple didn’t want a grand affair with an outpouring of too many guests, but rather kept it a private and cozy affair with close family and friends. The family and friends, however, were all in jovial and celebratory mood. But none looked more radiant and glowing than the bride, Gauri Spratt herself.
Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt got married in their Pali Hill residence in Bandra, Mumbai and was attended by only 150 guests. While Aamir Khan wore a traditional ivory kurta set, Gauri Spratt was beaming radiance in a pastel-hued outfit. Even though it was a small and cozy affair, it was still a very luxurious one, with the expenditure ending up in crores. However it was one simple gift that caught everyone’s attention.
Although it was simple, it was no less than elegant. So, what is this simple-yet-elegant item that caught everyone’s attention and piqued the interest of all Luxury enthusiasts? It was none other than Aamir Khan’s wedding ring for his bride, Gauri Spratt. Spratt’s exquisite wedding ring was a thing to behold.
Sourced from the deep mines of Madagascar, it is a rare cabochon-cut natural ruby that’s set on a gold coronet-inspired mount. Moreover, it is embellished with 40 natural diamonds. The bespoke ring is a thing of beauty, that didn’t take long to become the talk of the town. The bright red ring with gold encrusted surface area around it took the Internet by storm. It wasn’t just a luxury enthusiast’s bold dream, but was also an object of curiosity for all journalism groups.
Several news agencies covered news on the ring itself, and upon further digging, they found something incredible about the craftsmanship that went behind it.
The natural ruby, that would look perfect in every condition, took nearly three months to find. Reports suggest that less than 0.1 % of all rubies actually meet the extraordinary standards of being called “Perfect”. Encrusting it with 40 natural diamonds and setting it atop a gold coronet-type mount took even more time and effort. Some estimates suggest that it required more than 256 hours of meticulous work and was crafted by 131 pairs of skilled hands.
This small Madagascar-mined Ruby with 40 diamonds took more than a collective 10 days and 131 people to work on. That’s incredible detailing and fine work. No wonder the ring became the talk of the town.
Although this ruby ring created all the buzz, and for good reason since it was her ‘Wedding Ring,’ it wasn’t the first ring the Lagaan actor gifted his now-wife. Earlier this year, Gauri was spotted wearing another luxury item, a one-of-a-kind ring featuring a rare Brazilian aquamarine surrounded by 40 natural diamonds. This piece of jewelry was also specially commissioned by the actor himself.
Therefore, even though the Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt wedding stodd out for its understated charm and deeply personal touches, it also rightfully created all the hype for a single piece of luxury item. The couple remained true to their simplistic roots, and we all wish them a very bright and prosperous future together.
